The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Office of Research and Development (ORD) and its National Center for Environmental Research (NCER), in cooperation with the EPA Clean Air Research Program, is offering this grant to support vital research. This funding initiative aims to deepen the understanding of organic compound formation and their significant climatically relevant properties. Specifically, this grant is for investigating the complex linkages between gas phase chemistry and secondary organic aerosol formation, alongside the interactions of anthropogenic and biogenic emissions. A notable aspect of this solicitation is the inclusion of early career projects, providing opportunities for PIs with smaller-scope research and budget requirements, fostering emerging talent in environmental science.
